Gosh, Karl. A whole year has passed in just a few lines in our trade paper. I hope reading between the lines was a wonderful year. Stay healthy my two friends. Only news here is that most of the relatives have finally moved out, and my lovely wife Marilyn fell and broke her wrist. Considering she is 80 , Marilyn is doing very well. First broken bone in her entire life ( I always did love older women !! ) Funny thing though, she lived in Detroit the same time I did, and then we both moved to Calif. before we lost our mates and then met. She went to Denby high school. As soon as you and Ann can dig out have a great year. Your friend, Rick.

Karl Bayer has left an In Memory comment for Martin Kostrzewa.

Marty was a great guy and loved to laugh. We were Berkley buddies, neighbors on Sunnyknoll, played ball and hockey at Community Field and went through LaSalette together and on to Shrine.

I'm sorry we drifted apart but glad we met about 10 years ago and had a great time recalling great days in the neighborhood and at LaSalette and Shrine. Our course we broke our promise to "keep in touch.”

I'm heartbroken to read of his passing on the reunion page (and for all our dear deceased classmates).

RIP Marty

Mary, nice memories of our homework collaborations, including a term paper which got an A for content and D for typing and grammar! Strange I ended up a newspaper editor in Capac, MI just 11 years later. LOL!
